The free market will create another satellite network if musk's isn't right! /s
This but kind of unironically, him doing this makes it much more likely the US government will blow some of its military budget to fund some sort of competitor.
That would be pretty cool considering they have tons of military budget obviously and more competition is a good thing.
That's kind of how we all get to use and enjoy the GPS today
It wouldn't be free market then.
If Musk doesn’t learn to play ball, the us government might well take control of the tech for the remainder of the war. Geopolitics is the game that is played with all the pieces.
